As most of you know, I have a thing for taking pictures of statues (I'm sure that a psychoanalyst would deduct some unpleasant facts from preferring statues to people).

The Albert Memorial provided me with plenty of inspiration yesterday.





The pictures above are of the Asia and Africa groups of statues, and of the Agriculture and Manufactures groups (and of course of His Royal Highness himself).

Apologies to my American and European friends for not including Europe and America but they were not quite as interesting and on the other side of the monument, and to my antipodean fellow LJ-ers but the statues were just not there.

At least, there's some beefcake for you all! (he works in Manufacturing)

Heck! In the upper right hand corner of your photos is a hunky god that I'd date ... He looks terrific and he won't talk back:)

Thanks for sharing!

Well, I wouldn't go as far as dating a statue. LOL

Who or what is the guy with the covered head?

I don't blame you! lol!

I think that guy is probably an Assyrian.

Lovely - where is that memorial? I do not recall seeing it in either of my trips to London and am sorry I have missed it before. Now I HAVE to get back soon to take some more photos...

:-)

Gorgeous by the way...

It's opposite the Royal Albert Hall.

No need to come back... you've seen it now! :-)

Oh, I still want to see it in person, plus I need to see you guys again...
